A LESSON WITH A MORAL
WHEN WILL OUR EYES BE OPENED TO THIS
GREAT NATIONAL CALAMITY?

The year 1886 played sad havoc with
many prominent men of our country.
Many of them died without warning,
passing away apparently in the full flush
of life
Others were sick but comparatively
short time. We turn to our files and
are astonished to find that most ofthem
died of apoplexv, of paralysis, of nervous
prostration, of malignant blood humor of
Bright's disease, of heart disease, of kid
ney disease, of rheumatism or of pneu-
monia
1t is singular that most of our prom
inent men die of these disorders
Any journalist who watches the telegraph
reports will be astonished at the number
of prominent victims of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off so many prom
incnt men in 1856 are really one disease,
taken different names according to the
location Of the fatal effects.
When valuable horse perishes, it be-
comes the nine days talk of the sporting
world, and yet thousands of ordinary
horses are dying every day, their aggre-
gate loss is enormous, and yet their death
creates no comment
So it is with individuals. The cause of
death of prominent men creates comment,
especially when it can be shown that one
unsupported disease carries off most of
them, and yet vast numbers of ordinary
men and women die before their time
every year from the same cause.
1t is said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid; that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheuma-
tism, and many cases of consumption,
would never be known. This uric acid,
we are told, is the waste Of the system,
and it is the duty of the kidneys to re-
move this waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric
kidney, acid is kept out of the blood
and these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, in IL large
measure disappear
But how shall this be done? 1t is folly
to treat effects. If there is any known
way ofgetting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public. We be-
lieye that Warmers safe cure of which so
much has been written, and so much
talked of by the public generally, and
which can be obtained of dealers every
where, is now recognized by impartial
physicians and the public as the one
specific for such diseases.
Because public attention has been
directed to this great remedy by means
of advertising, some persons have not
believed in the remedy. We cannot
see how Mr. Warner could Immediately
benefit the public in any other way, and
his valuable specific should not be con-
demned because some nOstrums have
come before the public in the same way
any more than that all doctors should be
condemned because so many of them
are incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions
you hear on every side of that great
remedy, and public opinion thus based
upon an actual experience, has all the
weight and importance of absolute. truth
At this time of the year, the uric acid
in the blood invites pneumonia and
rheumatism. and there is not man who
does not dread these monsters ofdisease;
but he need have no fear Of them, we
are told if he rid the blood of the uric
acid cause.
These words are strong and may
sound like an advertisement, and be re-
iected rs such By unthinkIng people, but
believe they are the truth, and as such
should be spoken by every truth-lovini
newspaper.
